Announcing: "Strong" by Authentique Paper

Extraordinary, smart, protective and steady...whether a growing boy or father, men are paramount figures in our lives. This year, we wanted to create special collections for mothers and fathers, hence our “Grace” and “Strong” companion collections. Father’s Day collections are rare, and since we receive numerous requests for rich, nostalgic masculine designs, we did not want to overlook fathers and sons. The myriad of paper accents and designs suitable for all ages, provide multiple options for creating cards, projects, albums and gifts centered around fathers and sons. Act fast... our masculine collection “Loyal” released last year at this time sold out very quickly!

“Strong” is printed on a special textured crisscross finish to add a masculine touch...custom texture only available at Authentique Paper!

"Strong" also features a 6x6 AND 8x8 bundle (paper pad) - so take your pick! Each size has it's benefits, it's really up to you, but either way, the "bundle" is a MUST have!

Collection kits allow you to grab and go - included in this kit is an EXCLUSIVE 12x12 Details & 12x8 Elements sticker - the only way to get these intricate, perfectly color-matched stickers is inside the kit!

This collection wouldn't be complete without coordinating die cuts!

"Mini Notes" - Add a personal note to any project, card or creation...just over 3" wide, we think these are a great size!

"Stamp Blocks" - Personalize with a sentiment or phrase...imagine the possibilities!

"Frames & Corners" - Highlight photos whether big or small (overall size of this item is almost 6" wide). Don't forget they are double sided too!

"Hinges & Tabs" - How can you not swoon over hinges and tabs? Add the perfect edge to your creation!

"Circles & Scallops" - Great for layering and adding a little pop!

We want to GIVE AWAY a "Strong" prize to one lucky fan! Just leave a comment telling us what you love about this collection and what kind of projects you would make with it. We will draw and announce a winner in our "Winner Round-up" at the end of this month!

This collection is just perfect for masculine lay-outs. I have two brothers and a dad, who I don't scrap very often, as I always have trouble making masculine creations. This beautiful collection would definitely make it a lot easier :)

This is fantastic! I love the patterns, especially the woodgrain sheet and the crossword sheet. And for me, the colors are perfect, because they're primarily blue and gold, which are Navy colors and my dad is a retired Navy man. Great collection!

I LOVE The colors in this collection and that "wood" paper is wonderful !!!! Would be great for Layouts about my hubby, son and the cats LOL 3 out of the 4 of them are male. Oh what the heck I'd use these papers for my daughter too !

Love the deep blue and orange colors of this collection. Authentique is my "to go" to line of papers when I create. I scrapbook my grandson, who turns 5 next month, and I also make cards to sell, and am always needing masculine type papers. Thanks for the chance at this fabulous new collection!

Since losing my husband of 41 years last year, I have been able to keep my mind busy (helps with the depression) by doing a scrapbook in his memory. These papers would be perfect for special times in his life.!!!

It is very hard to find versatile papers for the "guy-layouts". With a father husband son grandson, I am always lookign for papers that work well for those kind of layouts. LOVE the color combo here, love the textured papers and LOVE the embellishments. I can also use this for some girly layouts as the gold, the scallops the flower pattern makes it very multi-purpose! GREAT collection-thank you :)

Absolute perfection. You nailed it with this collection. I love the extras that are part of this line. You have really outdone yourselves with the additions of embellishments/tags etc. that you brought out this year.

What a great collection!! I would love to use "Strong" to make a special album for my Dad with pics with all his grandkids. This collection has ticked all the boxes for me. It features great colors, fun patterns and papers especially the woodgrain and crossword papers. I love all the extra co-ordinating embellishments that get the creative juices flowing. A very versitile collection. I love it.

My father passed in November at the age of 50 and I've yet to find the right to create a memorial scrapbook of the pictures and memorabilia given. I think I've found it! I would be honored and appreciative to win this for his albumSuzanne

I just love the color choices with the blue and golden yellow. If I had a pack of all the goodies in the Strong collection I would make a mini album for my Father-In-Law with all of his grandchildren so he can have it sitting out in his living room to look at all the time.

WOW! Wishes do come true - papers for the men in my family and in their favorite colors. Love the quotes and die cuts. The layout and card possibilities are endless. Has to go to the top of my wish list. Thanks for listening.

Awesome collection of patterns, colors for the male gender!! Flowers and frill just don't work with my male family members!, So I am always feeling very limited when creating LOs and cards. Love this fabulous collection and thanks for the chance to win!

Wow, this is a really great collection for the men in the family! Good for any age! I love the colors and prints... all the cut outs, die cuts, etc... are just fabulous... good range of words to choose from. Thanks for a chance to win this package of goodies! oh yes... I'd be using it for my layouts and for cards.

Really a great masculine collection....a must have for me with all the males I have in my family! I want to make some mini albums for my sons and Dad and these papers and embellishments would be perfect.

Great collection! I really like to see designs that can be used for our Masculine family members! The fact that this collection is so complete is very unique. Many times the masculine designed papers have very few matching embellishments. If I were to use this collection I would make scrapbook pages and cards for the guys in my life.

I love how MALE this set is, it can be used for all ages... from baby boys to grown granddads there needs to be more male papers in scrap land instead of just flower & girl items so WELL DONE!!!. Your opening tag of Strong is the best way to describe it....I just LOVE this set!!!

I love this beautiful collection for boys and men. I can't wait to get my hands on it to make Father's Day and birthday cards for the men I love! Rich colors and gorgeous patterns make this collection a must have for my paper stash!

My Dad passed away 10 months ago at 82 He was a strong man who was savagely attacked by Alzheimer and I want to make an album for my niece to have as a reminder of her granddad who she called Gramps. These papers and pack would be perfect for this album and I cannot wait to get my hands on it.It is perfect thank you for showing it to us all.

This is a wonderful collection...the colors are awesome... what I like most besides the papers are the 12x8 Elements sticker, normally I wouldn't say that but I have gotten my hands on a sheet of Diction and I have to say I absolutely LOVE it and use it all the time too bad the main subject was babies I still managed to work around it LOL thanks for the chance!

Oh wow this collection is FFAABBUULLUUSS....so love the stamp blocks and mini notes!!! This would look so great on a mini album I want to make for my father in law! Thank you for the chance to win xoxoxox Amy :)

I always love a collection that works for masculine projects and the colors in this are awesome! Love the weathered wood paper and that crossword puzzle print!I would use it for everything!!! Cards, layouts, mini albums!

I was diagnosed with Lupus (SLE) shortly after having my youngest child. I have since taken up this wonderful hobby of paper crafting as my outlet and memory keeping. I'm a huge fan of this line. I already have so many great ideas of what to use it for.

YES!!!!! Love that you are introducing such a fab line perfect for scrapping our dads, brothers, hubbies and sons... I pretty much scrapbook "boys" and I am thrilled to see the colours the great patters (the weathered wood background - stunning!) and the fab stamp blocks which are so perfect for cards. Thank you:-) I can see the layouts and the cards already in my mind.

I love the name of this collection! Strong, which is what I think of when I think of my father and also of my son. Great set for all those masculine cards I need to make. I am such a HUGE fan of your paper collections. They always inspire me to create!
